Tuning Center

Note: This course was not designed to accommodate the bass
fiddle. Please consider following along with another instrument,
like the guitar. Alternatively, you can follow along with the
guitar materials. Why?

The four strings of the bass are tuned the same as the four thickest strings
of the guitar (an octave lower). These are the E, A, D, G strings.

When you're asked to play a G chord, you'll alternate
between the G and D strings on the bass. These are the thinnest
and second-to-thinnest strings, respectively.
